Limitations

A school closure is defined as any school that had students for at least one year followed by no students in a subsequent year. A school opening is defined as a school that had no students after 1991 but enrolled students before 2022 for at least one year. Some schools reopen after being closed, and only their initial closure is reflected in this analysis.

School Closures by District

Of Note

Intermediate School District 287 comprised 26% of all school closures between 1991-2022.

Impact of School Closures on Students Across the Metro

Limitations

Any estimates of counts of people affected by school closures will be imperfect because it’s hard to account for schools that closed and reopened multiple times. With that said, this analysis selects only the first instance a school closed to estimate the number of students impacted.
